We are moving in stages. It began last Saturday when my parents helped us move some furniture, crates of books, and heat sensitive items like candles and home canned food and wine to their house. They will be bringing that stuff up later.
On Monday, Dave and Gayle came down and we loaded up the rest of our stuff in the van, truck, car, and trailer. My mom and Ben P. came to help with the loading, for which we were grateful. Those stairs are a challenge.
After some difficulties getting the right tow bar and hooking up the lights, we were able to tow the bug up with the van. We spent Monday night at my parent's house where Mom cooked up a delicious meal of trout, pasta salad, and toasted bread with frozen chocolate peanut squares for dessert.
We left early Tuesday morning and spent 15.5 hours on the road with only a few minor difficulties. One of the tow lights fell off the bug on the way and broke, so we took the other one off and our goal was to make it to Creswell before it got dark. With that in mind, we didn't stop for dinner, just had snacks in the car, but we still had a bit of a dramatic finish as we were getting closer and closer as the sun was going down and it finally sank behind the mountains, but we still had enough light to just make it in time! It seemed a lot more dramatic than it really was to Gayle and I as we were in the Honda together after being on the road for so long. We were all glad to finally be there and for safe traveling on the way.
